Back to Cambridge, MA
A year ago, I came to Cambridge. Only for a week-end. I saw the Strata Center and walk around Boston and a little in the MIT Campus. Well I’m back again.
I thought I might look at Harvard campus this time and try to find some nice art galleries. Part of this process is to continue my personal “art studies” which I felt I set aside since Paris. I’ve been experimenting but it’s good to go back to the basis. I’m not looking for great “masters” of art, but to be touch again and to understand new things.
So I went to the Carpenter Center of art in the Harvard Campus which is the only Le Corbusier building in the US..(!!). Well besides the fact that the concrete of the building made great pictures, I wasn’t very impressed by the design. I found an interesting exhibition of senior thesis students in the lobby though. Some of them are extremely original or complete weirdo. I guess that’s what makes art special. I haven’t note anything special in there.
I then went just beside this building which is the Fog Art Museum. Basically, a Harvard own museum. What I note there :
Y’a quelque hose de personnel dans la peinture. L’artiste mis à nu. Chaque tache de peinture est un geste relié à l’artiste. Quiconque regarde les détails d’une oeuvre peut s’imaginer l’artiste devant sa toile au moment même où il appliquait la couleur. Je me demande comment atteindre ce niveau intime avec l’art numérique?
Autre pensée : Beaucoup d’artistes atteignent leur style vers la trentaine, même si les années avant démontrent un talent, l’apogée c’est reconnaître la personne à travers son art.

Exercice journalier du 1er juin 2008
J’en ai une autre dans mon flickr, même thème mais plus centré sur des rayons de lumières. Mais je préfère celle-ci où j’ai joué plus avec les formes. (toutes les photos du montage viennent de San-Cugat dans la région de Barcelone).

Particules d’intimité, oeuvre Tache
Autre oeuvre de Particule d’intimité. Celle-ci figurait depuis longtemps sur la homepage de nouknouk.com un peu comme un vitrine de mon style. J’ai reçu une commande très cool, d’en faire une immense version imprimé sur du translucide pour être rétro-éclairé. Ça donne tout un effet!
Voici en détail.
Voici dans son contexte.

Circle of friends, where to get your inspiration
I often read about artists and their circle of friends and relatives all related to art (litterature, music, art, poetry, film…) and how together they created new art movement. I recently started a book about the life and work of Pablo Picasso. He was surrounded by artist of all fields but going into the same direction (here cubism). His circle was his inspiration and the reflection of the time he lived in.
I thought it was something missing from my life. Oh, I have friends working in several art fields, but not everyday, not enough discussing about it and the way it’s going. I’m not that much into the art gang. But I made a connection between the café Le lapin agile where Picasso spent most of his time and the internet. The web is such an international art community, it’s so complete. I think I feel more a part of the design slash art web community. I guess it’s now the way modernity is working…

Autre test non sélectionné pour l’expo Particules
Je trouvais le style et la teinte trop différent du reste de la série pour l’inclure, mais il y a quelque chose dans cette gamme de couleurs que j’aime beaucoup. Une chaleur, une douceur…

Mon oeuvre à la Nuit Blanche de Montréal en Lumières édition 2008
Voici mon oeuvre qui était présentée dans la vitrine de la galerie Boye dans le cadre de la Nuit Blanche du festival Montréal en Lumières. “Aquatic” était la version encadré et la version “Aquatic sous presse” (version montrée ici) était basé sur la première mais étendue sur 14 pieds de papier photo.
(merci à Julie Baribeau pour la photo)

Artwork on place
I’m thrilled. I’ve got helped today to install my artwork for my next exhibition in 2 weeks. I must say it looks pretty good. And also, taking pictures of the process reminded me how much the place inspired the work I did without knowing. The light, the windows, and the place in the gallery where my art will be is just perfect with the creation I did. It’s surely helped me come up with a name for my two pieces. I must say that going into a more abstract road is easier to find the good name for the creation I did. I always had a hard time finding the good words to represent what I did. But I feel that abstract art gives me the opportunity to find a lot of things that fit. It’s not just something you recognize, it can be a thousand things…
